  Wonderful March Visit

  08 Apr 2026

  Can’t say enough good things about this Hotel . We have enjoyed our stays for quite a few years , usually in March to escape some of our Canadian Winter. The Staff are exceptional from Reception , Front Office, Housekeeping . Friendly , efficient , knowledgeable. . The location is perfect , steps from a sandy beach , great for walking . The 2 bedroom units are spacious , well equipped kitchens with washing machine and dishwasher . The beds are comfortable and if you find the mattress too firm ( we didn’t) , Housekeeping will happily put on a foam topper for your comfort . Apartments cleaned 6 days/week . Small Convenience store on lower level with wonderful warm buns in the mornings . You can get your every day needs there or a short Uber ride to a large Grocery Store for all your big shopping. We lucked out this year with warm, sunny skies for our 3 week visit .Already booked for March 2027 . Lots of wonderful restaurants in the area and the helpful staff at reception will advise and make reservations if needed.

  Jrdim do vau great hotel in portimao

  23 Feb 2026

  We just arrived home from this lovely hotel after a one month gay. We are seniors and loved all the facilities t this hotel, it has front desk service 24/7 and all the staff are very friendly and most speak English and MARTA in the front office was always so efficient and helpful. It has an indoor pool, gym, library, hot tub and restaurant and the grounds are so beautiful and well maintained. It was ways kep so clean. We loved the location and since we did not have a car we took the u er everywhere even to the little outlying villages and all were better than renting a car since my husband does not walk well, we did not have to worry about finding parking spaces in the small towns that ll have limited parking as we were picked up and dropped off at our locations. It was very quiet and felt very safe, about a 10 min walk from the hustle and bustle. My husband had to visit the private clinic while we were there and their system was so very efficient we waited only 15 minutes he had rays blood work, etc and we were back at our hotel 2 hr later.Anyway highly recommend this excellent hotel and we will return Jardim do Vau, Other at Jardim do Vau, responded to this review Thank you so much fo ryour kind review.

  A thoroughly enjoyable stay

  11 Feb 2026

  We have just returned from a 5 week stay at Jardim do Vau, we thoroughly enjoyed it, our apartment B204 was very spacious, an open plan living, dining and kitchen area, good sized bathroom with shower over the bath and a very good size bedroom, very comfortable twin beds, hanging space, shelves and drawers and the safe is also in the wardrobe and it is free. Anna our lady came in every day apart from Sundays, she was absolutely amazing and she certainly went above and beyond to help us during our stay. We hired a mobility scooter for my Husband, he charged it in our hallway so there was plenty of room, the only downside was he had to go around the building to go out, there again dropped kerbs are very sparse wherever you go in Portugal. The only downside was the weather but luckily the hotel didn’t suffer flooding Jardim do Vau, Other at Jardim do Vau, responded to this review Thank you so much for your kind review.

  Excellent Location, Disappointing Pool Staff Behavior

  25 Dec 2025

  I had a good time at Jardim do Vau with my wife and our 2 small children. The location is directly on a beautiful beach, and the reception staff are very helpful and friendly.I wanted to give 5 stars, but unfortunately, one day before we were about to leave, we were treated very rudely by an older blonde woman at the swimming pool. About 10 minutes before 7:00 p.m., she came to the pool to warn people that it would close at 7:00 p.m.While I was in the changing room, she came inside and rudely told me to hurry up, repeatedly saying, “It’s closed! It’s closed!” while pointing at her watch. Then she rushed both me and my small child toward the exit. I was confused because the week before, a male staff member had told me that the pool closed at 10:00 p.m. She responded, “I have worked here for 25 years. That’s impossible. This is the rule!”I understand that rules must be followed, but this is not the right way to treat guests. She needs to learn basic politeness, especially when working in the tourism industry. Jardim do Vau, Other at Jardim do Vau, responded to this review Dear guest, thank you for your review. We are very sorry to learn that you experienced such an unpleasant situation. We are also sorry that you did not report this to us directly by email or personally at reception, or we would have solved this at once. Having this information only now, we are not able to know your name nor the day that you check-out and the day that this situation occured. Our indoor pool always closes at 7pm and the last entrance is at 6.30pm; we are very sorry that you were spoken to with disrespect and we will carry out an internal meeting with the pool staff. We look forward to welcome you again soon. All the best, Jardim do Vau
